PAN Pacific Hotel Group has revealed major refurbishments at four of its properties across Asia-Pacific, namely the Pan Pacific Perth and Parkroyal Parramatta in Australia, Parkroyal Yangon in Myanmar and Parkroyal on Beach Road in Singapore.
The renovations, amounting to over US$35 million, will apply to the hotel rooms, amenities and public spaces, and are done as part of the group’s efforts to maintain its industry competitiveness.
Bernold O Schroeder, CEO of Pan Pacific Hotels Group, said: “This latest phase of refurbishments will enable our hotels to be further distinguished by their premium class of hospitality and augment the significant customer affinity already enjoyed by our brands.”
The 486-room Pan Pacific Perth, located along Swan River, has unveiled 132 remodelled guest rooms and suites complete with marble bathrooms with new lighting features and designer fittings, as well as a revamped lobby boasting pod-style reception counters and a new water feature.
On the east coast of Australia, the 196-room Parkroyal Parramatta has embarked on a 15-month extension project to make it the largest hotel in Parramatta – boasting 286 guestrooms – when it reopens in mid-2016.
The hotel’s refurbishment plans includes the construction of a new seven-storey tower with a Club Lounge, 40 Club Rooms, 50 Premium Rooms and a gymnasium. Four new meeting rooms will also be added to bring the hotel’s total event spaces to 12. Renovations will include extending the existing Bar:30 restaurant and bar into Phillip Street to create an al fresco dining area.
